THE plans for Bristol's XX Commonwealth Games Queen's Baton Relay celebrations next month have been announced.

The Glasgow 2014 Queen's Baton Relay is the curtain-raiser to the XX Commonwealth Games. Over a period of 288 days the baton will visit 70 nations and territories, cover 190,000 kilometres and involve a third of the world's population.

West of England Sport Trust (Wesport) and Bristol City Council have worked together to bring the relay to Bristol on June 3.

The Baton will be carried from the All Aboard Water Sports Centre down the river to the Lloyd's Amphitheatre and then on to City Hall by the four Bristol Batonbearers.

The celebrations will continue at a Sports Park in Millennium Square where members of the public can try 20 different sporting activities including athletics, hockey, handball, rugby, sailing and many more. There will also be an opportunity to have their picture taken with the Queen's Commonwealth Games Baton.
